Archie #372

Summer's officially over for the Riverdale gang — and Archie makes his feelings perfectly clear, hauling a bright red surfboard through the front doors of Riverdale High while lamenting the end of vacation to a blonde companion. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo captures that bittersweet back-to-school energy beautifully, with a crowd of students in colorful fall fashions streaming back onto campus. It's a warm, relatable slice of teen life from 1989 that makes this issue an easy pick for any Archie fan.
